Ensemble vocal le Motet de Genève & Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Guillaume Tourniaire

"the purity, innocence and almost magical charm of Inger Dam-Jensen is something not to be missed. On top of that there is a finesse and delicacy about the Suisse Romande Orchestra under Guillaume Tourniaire which makes this new recording altogether more rewarding…this is a truly outstanding Peer Gynt."

Grieg’s incidental music for Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt (1874-5) won immediate success and ranks among his most enduringly popular compositions, its huge range of orchestral tone-colours and creative use of space captured on this recording by placing actors, chorus, and folk musicians both onstage and behind the scenes.

Foran Sydens Kloster, composed in 1871 as an interlude for Bjørnson’s heroic play Arnljot Gelline, and Bergliot, a monodrama written in the same year and orchestrated in 1875, reveal Grieg as a master composer of dramatic and lyrical stage music.

This recording includes authentic folk musician recordings as well as the original narration.
